According to The Dallas Morning News, Sanders filed for divorce from his wife Pilar 18 months ago, but it was finally approved in a Texas court on Friday. The case appears to remain open as Pilar's rep said she's filed several claims against her ex including fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, mental distress and physical abuse. No date has been set for the trial.

Sanders followed up with his first tweet by offering some life advice his marriage his taught him. ""Men listen closely! Don't choose a woman with your flesh choose her with your spirit and heart. Yo flesh will lie until you flesh die. Truth," he said.
